A bipartisan bill on college sports from U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) is expected to “be introduced within days,” according to sources cited by CBSSPORTS.com. Language for the bill is “being finalized and is now moving through the standard pre-introduction process.” The bill is expected to carry a “limited antitrust exemption regarding player eligibility and transfer rules” -- the legal shield that would let the industry “write its own rules and enforce them without being challenged in the court system.” But whatever else is in the bill has “largely remained a mystery.” The bill will “address player movement in the transfer portal and eligibility windows, legally limiting player movement to as few as one transfer per career.” Sources said that the upcoming bill would also “impose a hard, enforceable salary cap on players” (CBSSPORTS.com, 5/26).
